The “minimalistic setup” utilized PPMand from R/C the R/C receiver and connects the ESCs via the Controller Receiver “RcvrPort” on the OpenPilot While the “classic Flight Controller andFlight R/CController. Receiver setup” shows a more traditional setup, makes it possible to connect other flight controllers and receivers. Power to FC and RX Power to FC and RX Main Port The OpenPilot and R/C receiver connects with only two wire harnesses. The first is for power via the “FlexiPort” (included) and the other is a 8-pin wire harness which is included in the OpenPilot kit. Power and PPM from the R/C receiver is connected via the 3-pin servo connector (on the 8-pin wire harness) and ESC signals connect individually with the single wire servo connectors.

To use the classic setup, follow the official OpenPilot guide (it will not be shown here). This section is based on OpenPilot GCS 14.01. Minimalistic setup Start by opening the “Hardware” tab and setting the “RcvrPort” to “PPM+Outputs”, this makes the red/white/black cable PPM input and the others outputs to the ESCs. Map the PPM stream to R/C input functions. This differs from the image below depending on how your R/C radio is arranging and streaming the channels to the receiver. Use the “Start Configuration Wizard” to make this easy. Next, go to the “Vehicle” tab and change “Motor output channels” to 1 -> Channel7, 2 -> Channel8, 3 -> Channel9 and 4 -> Channel10, as shown in the next image. This maps the logic motors to physical output pins. Sony Boa Configure OpenPilot Flight Controller (cont.) Next, open the “Output” tab and change the “Output update speed” to 400 Hz for ch. “5,7-8” and “6,9-10”. Set the minimum (idle) level for the motors to around 1060 µS. Important: with propellers off! Lastly, change the logic orientation of the board if the arrow does not pointing in the forward direction. It is handy to have the USB connector face out of the right side of the platform for easy access. This moves the “RcvrPort” point to the rear and making the connection of the cable very tidy. Mounti Now, tweak the stabilization values to suit the new weight and center of gravity. Only slightly or no changes should be necessary. The following table shows what the correct value should be for the “Yaw” option. Note: This table is a work in progress, please add your verified settings to complete it. Top of board is facing: Arrow is pointing: Roll Pitch Yaw Up Forward 0 0 0 Up Right 0 0 - 90 Up Backward 0 0 +180 Up Left 0 0 +90 Down Forward +180 0 0 Left Forward 90 0 0 Right Forward -90 0 0 Camera Pilot Camera socket and solder pads Mounting Board Screw the bolts in place. Connect the camera and video transmitter cables to their respective devices and plug in the other end to the sockets on the board (if used). Plug in the ESC signal cables on the pin header. Begin by positioning the “FC/RX Pwr” cable and OpenPilot wire harness (if used) between the ESCs, feeding it to the rear end. Position the board to the bottom of the QAV250 platform, feed the battery power lead, “FC/RX Pwr” cable and OpenPilot wire through the rear cut-outs in the platform and align the hollow spacers over the holes. Mount the LED boards to the frame as normal using taper screws. Finished! (hopefully) The two front screw holes on the board require an additional pair of g boardhollow to platform spacers and long screws (included).
